FINE furry
FRIENDS
There are always folks out there lately screaming about the dangers of free and low cost calls. I get accused of being all hearts and rainbows, but I think there is enough negativity out there. You’re smart. Read the fine print. Don’t refuse to enter because it is scary. If we didn’t try scary stuff, no one would ever have tried kiwi. This next call can be entered for next to nothing. I say… take a chance, but remember to always read the fine print…
Check out this Call for Entries, sponsored by Sigma, for the Photographer’s Forum 32nd Annual Photography Contest. It is hard to come up with an excuse not to spend $4.95 for the entry fee, and after 30 years… they have to be doing something right. Enter today!
